LABOUR leader Ed Miliband is visiting Loughborough this morning as politicians continue to tour the country in preparation for the next month’s General Election.

Mr Miliband is at The Brush to take part in a question and answer session with staff and also to meet some of the company’s apprentices.

Prime Minister and Conservative party leader David Cameron also visited the town last week and met apprentice Antony Stone at John Taylor and Co Bell Foundry.

The Loughborough seat is set to be hotly contested on May 7 with the Conservative candidate Nicky Morgan taking on Labour’s Matthew O’Callaghan, Steve Coltman of the Liberal Democrats, UKIP’s Bill Piper and Matt Sisson from the Green Party.
